Brigham nurses to picket as MGB executives earn $35.9M amid service closures and 0% wage offer

Registered nurses at Brigham and Women's Hospital will hold an informational picket on 29 April, protesting Mass General Brigham's corporate decisions affecting patient care and workforce conditions. The Massachusetts Nurses Association represents the nurses, who will demonstrate from 14:00 to 16:00 outside the hospital at 75 Francis Street, Boston. Nurses cite several service closures under MGB, including the Weiner Centre, Burn Unit and Integrated Care Management Programme. They criticise the health system's bargaining proposals, particularly a 0% wage offer for nurses below top step, whilst MGB reported a $59.2 million operating gain in 2025 and paid its top 14 executives $35.9 million in fiscal year 2024. The informational picket will not disrupt patient care, with nurses participating outside working hours.

MGB Home Care clinicians to picket Mass General over stalled contract talks after year of bargaining

Approximately 450 clinicians at Mass General Brigham Home Care, represented by the Massachusetts Nurses Association, will hold an informational picket on 24 March outside Massachusetts General Hospital. The clinicians are seeking their first union contract after more than 20 bargaining sessions since March 2025. The bargaining unit includes registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech language pathologists, social workers and dieticians who voted to join the MNA in June 2024. They are demanding reasonable caseload limits, clear productivity standards, competitive wages and recruitment protections. MGB reported a $59.2 million operating gain in the year ending September 2025, with CEO Dr Anne Klibanski's compensation rising 40% to $8.4 million in 2024. The picket is scheduled for 15:30 to 17:00 and is not a strike.
